A Quote by Kelvin Sampson

I learned quickly in the NBA that you keep one eye open at all times and one ear closed. You can't react to everything you hear or see.

The ear is profound, whereas the eye is frivolous, too easily satisfied. The ear is active, imaginative, whereas the eye is passive. When you hear a noise at night, instantly you imagine its cause. The sound of a train whistle conjures up the whole station. The eye can perceive only what is presented to it.

Robert Bresson

The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. The eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. When hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. If all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! Certain energies come only when you burn. If you long for belief, sit down in the fire! When the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. But if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.

Rumi

What I learned in school, what I learned in the educational part of my life. Trying to acquire a kind of a bird's eye view. You drive hard and see everything. And that's called education because now you can see everything.

Muhammad Yunus

Quotations offer one kind of break in what the eye can see, the ear can hear.

Ihab Hassan

The bad things you can see with one eye closed. But keep both eyes wide open for the little things. Little things mark the great dividing line between success and failure.

Jacob Braude

Keep your ears open, your eyes open, grab everything you can, react, and learn!

Victoria Abril

I learned when I started to study piano that I could play by ear. I could hear a song on the radio a couple of times and hear the song and the lyrics and sing it for you after a couple of plays.

Ronnie Milsap

The ear will surrender even at those times when the eye wants to close, when the eye doesn't want to watch.

Tony Harrison

Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?

William Blake

Just as the eye was made to see colours, and the ear to hear sounds, so the human mind was made to understand, not whatever you please, but quantity.

Johannes Kepler

Everything I've written I see in a very precise way and I hear in my inner ear.

Sue Miller

The whole existence is surrounded by a divine energy that protects you, cares for you, is always available. If you go on missing it, it is only because of you. If you keep your doors closed, the sun may be outside but you will live in darkness. Even if the doors are open and the sun is there, you can keep your eyes closed and you will still live in darkness. So is the case with god: his love is always there but our hearts are not open, our hearts are closed.

Rajneesh

I learned everything along the way. I only performed five times before I was in the public eye.

Ciara

If you want to play something that you hear, you need to listen with your mind's eye. You've heard of the mind's eye, right? Your mind has an ear too. It's a kind of listening, but it's not using your ears to listen. It's listening with your inner ear, and that's what you want to translate onto the guitar.

Steve Vai

With the one eye that is closed, one looks within, with the other eye that is open, one looks without.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors... What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you'd come to closed door number eight and you'd think, 'Great, I got another one out of the way'... Keep moving forward.

Joel Osteen
